As a lesbian, I'm always on the lookout for good movies with GLBTQ (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, queer/questioning) content. Usually I'm pretty disappointed by the lack of quality and selection, but every now and then I'll stumble upon a gem.

A couple of my favorites:

The Closet (French with subtitles). A straight man who is about to be fired tells his boss he is gay, knowing the boss will do the "PC" thing by not firing him. His newfound "gayness" has a remarkable affect on most of the women in his life, and a few of the men as well. If you don't mind subtitles, it's well worth a look.

But I'm A Cheerleader. Cheerleader with suspected lesbian tendencies is sent to "reorientation" camp where she falls in love with another girl. Both funny and touching.

Oh, I wish I could remember some of them. LOGO (the gay and lesbian channel) has a lot of good movies on it...and show (Wonderfalls, whoooo! =D) and I catch a lot of them, but I tend to forget after a while =\

I always liked Boys Don't Cry. And hmmm...does Dog Day Afternoon count? That was a good one too.

Y'know what, I think I've seen "But I'm a Cheerleader". Just part of it, but it was driving me crazy trying to remember what movie it was where a girl was sent off to turn her straight or whatever. So thanks <!--s51-->:3<!--/s51-->

There are a few I like and have seen more than once: Better than Chocolate, When Night is falling, French Twist (in french I think the title was Gauzon Maudit), Long Time Companion, Entre Nous, But I'm a Cheerleader. Oh and then Queer as Folk and the L Word my favorite gay themed shows.

I'll have to keep an eye out for "But I'm a Cheerleader". It sounds like a really good flick! I enjoy "Queer as Folk" and "The L Word". My SIL is a lesbian, so she often comments on movies/shows that she has seen and liked. I'll have to make sure she has seen the two you spoke of.

That Certain Summer with Hal Holbrook and Martin Sheen it was on the ABC movie of the week and my mother banned us from watching it the first time it televised. She must have though it would have changed us.

I used to watch that channel a lot because my gay friend god me hooked on this one show (I forget the name). Some of the movies on that channel aren't too bad.

A Home at the End of the World (I think that was the name) wasn't a bad movie.

I saw Hal Sparks on Queer As Folk and never look at him the same on Vh1 I love the (whatevers)... is he really gay or just acts the role? Because I know 2 guys that look like him and I giggle every time I see them.
